1. At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was verified to be within its warranted
specifications. Within one year of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully calibrated with no furt her adjustment or verification testing.
2. If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its first year, or if the analyzer is more than one year old , additional adjustment
and performance verification tests are required to ensure that some newly installed options are functioning properly. However, the completion of these tests
does not guarantee that the analyzer meets all warranted specifications.
